Episode 2 picks up where the pilot left off. The now damaged ship is running low on oxygen so the crew must source it somewhere close to their position in space in order to survive. Back on earth Erik & his team make little headway trying to figure out the purpose of the terrestrial alien that seems to mimic music.
To me, this episode felt right out of Star Trek Enterprise. A crew that has not yet melded together, a great unknown and of course danger everywhere. A new addition makes an appearance. I can understand why folks might be frustrated at this point.
I will agree with some that the crew is questionably assembled. For being supposedly military organization, or perhaps more fittingly the science arm of a military organization it seems to me that it would have been easier for some folks if they had gone with uniforms and military style space command, but perhaps they were trying to break away from shows like that which have already been done plenty.
Sure I have lots of questions, some of which should have been answered already like what year is it, and who or what William actually is. Some of us however like mysteries we have to solve for ourselves and do not appreciate nor need every detail spoon fed to us. I for one am going to soldier on and keep watching. No show is ever perfect in its first few episodes. At this point I will say without spoiling anything that if they go in the direction where the end of this episode seems to lead, I will be very disappointed.
